I noticed a couple of interesting things about Dave&#8217;s lathe. He solved the problem of the wandering driveshaft pulley by trapping it between a couple of collars; much easier than pining it to the shaft. Dave has also added a sort of belt tensioner. I&#8217;m guessing that it is temporary and will be replaced with something of lower friction.<\/p>\n<p>Dave sent along a couple of pictures for your enjoyment. &#8230;and his is yet another shop cleaner than mine!<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-6399 gallery-columns-2 gallery-size-medium'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.bob-easton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/DavidWebster-2-e1542117354440.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"287\" height=\"510\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bob-easton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/DavidWebster-2-e1542117354440-287x510.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"Dave Webster&#039;s treadle lathe\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bob-easton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/DavidWebster-2-e1542117354440-287x510.jpg 287w, https:\/\/www.bob-easton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/DavidWebster-2-e1542117354440-84x150.jpg 84w, https:\/\/www.bob-easton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/DavidWebster-2-e1542117354440-675x1200.jpg 675w, https:\/\/www.bob-easton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/DavidWebster-2-e1542117354440.jpg 1836w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 287px) 100vw, 287px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/www.bob-easton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/DavidWebster-1-e1542117293997.jpg'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"287\" height=\"510\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bob-easton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/DavidWebster-1-e1542117293997-287x510.jpg\" class=\"attachment-medium size-medium\" alt=\"Dave Webster&#039;s treadle lathe\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bob-easton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/DavidWebster-1-e1542117293997-287x510.jpg 287w, https:\/\/www.bob-easton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/DavidWebster-1-e1542117293997-84x150.jpg 84w, https:\/\/www.bob-easton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/DavidWebster-1-e1542117293997-675x1200.jpg 675w, https:\/\/www.bob-easton.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/DavidWebster-1-e1542117293997.jpg 1836w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 287px) 100vw, 287px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div><\/figure>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\n<p>The last time we exchanged mail, Dave mentioned he was turning large dowels that were to be threaded.
